Perfect timing! Just graduated from Stony Brook University with my Bachelors Degree. Now can’t wait to read this gem by @smariehayman while getting my MBA in Marketing.

Wow where have audiobooks been all my life?! I borrow them from my library through the overdrive app and listen on the drive to my internship! Makes the drive with traffic so much nicer!

I don’t know why all of a sudden weights are in and cardio is out but I maintain my stance: I LOVE CARDIO AND ALWAYS WILL

@amandasanderlin @Klind2013 I like that internet friends are a normal thing now that no one really questions. You can be friends with someone you met on Twitter that lives in a totally different country from you, and you would have never met without Twitter so that's pretty cool! #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@SheeranYoung1 @Klind2013 Exactly! Like the Ted Talk we watched about young people in Africa, even places that we think of in the Unites States as underdeveloped have access to worldwide news now through the fast pace that Twitter works #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@abbygailkydd @Klind2013 I like the part you mentioned about displaying creativity. People can post their artwork, videos of singing, dancing and so many other talents they have. Through social media people can even make money online now from this, like with YouTube an Etsy #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@Uma39857170 @JWu303 @Klind2013 Yeah! Disagreement doesn't always have to be a bad thing! You learn the most through discourse with others and seeing things through multiple perspectives. Everyone has some kind of innate bias so like you said, different viewpoints foster growth! #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@nycvalle @Klind2013 I like the community aspect too. It's also interesting to get different perspectives. One thing that immediately jumps to mind is YouTube comments because I know a lot of people like to scroll through those while watching the video to see other people's reactions #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@victoriadeadass @Klind2013 Omg yes! I took a news literacy class my first semester at SBU and I feel like it should be a mandatory class because it taught me so much about fake news and how to check for reputability, something that most the world clearly does not know how to do #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@Juliette_EGL @punkmusic3928 @Klind2013 It's interesting you bring that up, because when most of the celebs read these tweets, they laugh at the tweets. I've seen this as a coping mechanism to bullying online in general, trying to find amusement in the situation or trying to laugh it off #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@punkmusic3928 @Klind2013 At this point I think I need to believe it's attention seeking because I can't believe a person can be so cruel, even if it's behind a screen and they're anonymous. How can someone hate someone they've never met so much? #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@JWu303 @ishan721 @Klind2013 This aligns with "cancel culture" like when the big scandal with James Charles and Tati Westbrook erupted in the beauty community and fans of each makeup influencer would attack the other person to try and be on their influencer's "side" #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@jordanegl303 @Klind2013 I definitely agree that people feel braver behind a screen. I wonder how social media and politics have developed over the years-has social media created more of an interest in politics despite the negativity? #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@JWu303 @Klind2013 I feel like a lot of hoaxes and conspiracy theories also stem from Twitter. I'm not sure which social media platform started this, but a few months back there was that privacy hoax post where user could "deny" a social platform rights to use their images #EGL303F19

[Ilona Kaydanov, MBA @ilonakaydanov]

@Juliette_EGL @Klind2013 Visiting indie bookstores is always an adventure for me-I planned a whole NYC trip to visit my friend at NYU just to be at the Strand bookstore for most of the day, yet neither of us ended up buying anything, mostly because yes, Amazon is so much cheaper #EGL303F19
